If you stand one foot away from him, let him punch you in the head, pick yourself up off of the floor, measure the distance. Step back another six inches and repeat the process. That is how you calculate a boxer's reach, just ask my brother...at least that's what he told me. He is six feet tall. It took a few calculations the first time.
